Rio Ferdinand has aimed a fresh dig at Jamie Carragher as their social media row continues.

On Sunday evening, Carragher caused major controversy when speaking about Mohamed Salah on the back of his stellar performance during Liverpool's 2-0 win over Manchester City.

The Egyptian was in fine form as he scored and assisted Dominik Szoboszlai to help Liverpool go 11 points clear of Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table.

Carragher faced backlash after appearing to show disrespect towards AFCON as he spoke about Salah's chances of winning the Ballon d'Or.

At the time, fellow pundit Micah Richards said: "Just on you saying AFCON is not a major tournament. A lot of people at home will disagree with that. AFCON is a major tournament."

As the pair argued on the point, Carragher said: "But Egypt aren’t going to win the World Cup, are they?" To which Richards replied: "No, but AFCON is big, isn’t it? Remember when he (Salah) and Mane were going for it?" Carragher was then spotted shaking his head and muttered: "Oh god."

Carragher faced huge criticism on the back of the show, and the former England international took to social media on Monday night to clarify his comments.

Meanwhile, he also got into a row on social media with former Manchester United defender Ferdinand, who Carragher branded as a 'clown'.

Becker replied to a tweet that had Carragher speculating about Bayern Munich and wrote: "There haven’t been any questions regarding the appointment of Kompany !

"In fact @FCBayern just said domestic title most important trophy this year and are happy with the work of Vincent Kompany! Jamie is NOT well informed at all...@Carra23."

Ferdinand then wrote: "Boris… he’s having a bad couple weeks. Let him off."
